The staff beside him trembled with trembling teeth: "Fighting, fighting, fighting has begun... What should I do, sir?"
Liu Chu: "It's okay for now. I've already asked our people to watch this place. We won't be discovered for now. Both sides should stop as soon as possible, so as not to cause trouble to His Majesty."
In this situation, it doesn't matter who wins or loses. What's worse is that Liu Chu glanced at the battlefield and sensitively found that the Lu family's soldiers were just show-offs, and they were not as good as those in the Hengyang Palace who had really experienced the bloodbath on the battlefield... The Lu family was going to lose.
If his father knew about this, the King of Hengyang would be in trouble. Liu Chu looked at the young man fighting in the crowd and frowned, wondering if he was being overly suspicious. Liu Mu's intense reaction... made him really unable to help but suspect the King of Hengyang of Lu Erlang's disappearance.
Liu Chu thought to himself: This is the worst.
The relationship between the noble families and the imperial power, which had been working so hard to balance, might be thrown out of balance because of this little thing. The power of the poor families in the court was not stable, the noble families had not reached their peak, the imperial power had not reached its peak, and the northern army was eyeing them covetously... At this time, the royal family should not turn against the noble families and use internal friction to benefit the enemy.
In order to avoid internal friction, the most likely thing His Majesty could do was to sacrifice the Prince of Hengyang. Liu Chu pondered, thinking that it was not worth sacrificing a prince for such a small matter.
Liu Chu was anxious, and was troubled by the fact that he had to hide his stuttering problem and not talk too much. He looked at his staff, hoping that they could raise their arms, weigh the pros and cons, and make the two sides of the fight stop, so that everyone could sit down and calmly discuss how to solve this matter.
But when Liu Chu looked at his aide, the aide looked back at him innocently and blinked foolishly.
Liu Chu: “…”
I felt depressed for a while.
I miss the days when Lu Saburo was by my side.
It's a pity that Lu Saburo is probably sleeping right now...
The battle in the Hengyang Palace was about to start, and the battle became more and more intense, and it seemed to be a Shura field. Both sides were bloodthirsty, and a few drops of blood splashed on the face of Hengyang Prince Liu Mu. His eyebrows were fierce and cold, and he would kill gods and Buddhas. In a short moment, several people from the Lu family were lying around him. The young man from the Lu family who was brought in met the sinister eyes of the Hengyang Prince, and saw the Hengyang Prince striding towards him with a sword in his hand. The usually noble young man turned pale and sat on the ground: "What are you going to do? Don't come over here!"
Liu Mu sneered and swung his long sword: "I have long disliked you, the children of aristocratic families who rely on your family status to do nothing but eat, drink and gamble all day long! Since you have come to my door today, just stay -"
He knew in his heart that he was about to be treated coldly. If he couldn't avoid it, he would just kill him with a sword.
At this moment, the overlapping shouts of a woman and a man came from outside the door: "Stop!"
The anxious Prince Chen Liu Chu, who was watching from the sidelines, had his eyelids twitched and looked at the person who came in. He was shocked when he saw the pale and weak Lu Erlang, whom they had been looking for for many days, suddenly appeared from the sky, and the person who was supporting Lu Erlang was actually his sister, Princess Ningping Liu Tang.
Liu Mu heard the shout, his heart skipped a beat, but his hands didn't tremble at all, and he swung the sword steadily. When the sword was about to hit the Lu family member sitting on the ground, Lu Erlang Lu Xian suddenly rushed over from the side, grabbed the sword with both hands, and stopped the sword from swinging down and killing the Lu family member.
Princess Liu Tang of Ningping also rushed over and shouted, "Uncle! Stop!"
Lu Jilang suddenly appears...
He raised his head and met the gloomy, subtle, unexpected, and ultimately ruthless look of Prince Hengyang.
The blood on the sword dripped down from Lu Xian's hand. Liu Mu looked down at the haggard young man kneeling at his feet. He suddenly became distracted and stopped using the sword.
The young master of the Lu family, who was protected by Lu Erlang, came back to his senses and was extremely excited: "Erlang! Erlang, you are still alive, so good!"
Lu Erlang turned around and said in a very soft voice: "I'm fine... Tell them to stop and stop fighting."
The Lu family members stopped first and looked at them. Liu Mu finally spoke slowly and unwillingly, asking his own people to stop. Standing on the killing field, everyone was panting and looking at Lu Erlang in confusion. Liu Mu saw the living Lu Erlang, threw away the sword in his hand, and laughed at himself.
Lu Jilang is alive.
Then what is he fighting for?
Lu Erlang knew about his evil ambitions, and he could not hide the fact that he was going to kill Lu Erlang... He could not escape this time.
His Majesty wanted him dead in the first place, and this time he gave the evidence to others. It was his fault that he didn't check it out that day, or that he was soft-hearted towards Lu Erlang and wanted to keep his body intact... He didn't expect that this man was not dead at all!
Liu Mu's face turned pale, and he noticed the gazes from the side. He turned his head and saw Chen Wang Liu Chu looking at him thoughtfully, with a bad look on his face.
Liu Mu: “…” It seems that this suspicious nephew has also noticed something is wrong.
Liu Mu lowered his eyelids, not wanting to speak or argue. At this point, he had nothing to say, whether to kill or to behead - he suddenly heard Lu Erlang's weak but clear voice: "You all misunderstood. I just went out of town with Her Royal Highness the Princess for a picnic without telling you. I just met the Prince of Hengyang before I left, and he didn't hurt me."
Liu Mu: “……!”
He suddenly opened his eyes and stared at the pale-faced Lu Jilang.
Princess Ningping nodded timidly and said softly, "...Yes, Erlang and I have always been together, and I can prove that what he said is true."
Although she was gentle, she was aware of Lu Erlang's attitude towards Prince Hengyang... She was horrified and wondered if the young uncle really wanted to kill Lu Erlang?
The young master of the Lu family sighed with relief and laughed, "Erlang, you are such a fool. You left without telling us and made everyone worry."
Lu Erlang coughed and forced a smile. Not wanting to waste energy reminiscing about the past, Lu Erlang stood up, looked at Liu Mu, and said softly: "You all go back, I have something to talk to His Royal Highness the Prince of Hengyang."
The atmosphere was actually quite strange. Everyone stood still, even Liu Mu. In the end, it was Prince Chen who spoke up, and after persuading each other, the suspicious Lu family prince left first. Then, Prince Chen looked at the obedient sister who followed Lu Erlang, and without saying a word, he also left with his hands behind his back. In the end, the soldiers in the Hengyang Palace were withdrawn, and only Liu Mu, Lu Xian, and Ningping Princess Liu Tang were left standing in front of the courtyard.
